Tag: Spoiled flaxseed gel

Homemade flaxseed gel, a water-based product, is highly perishable and susceptible to bacterial growth when left at room temperature. Due to its natural composition, you can keep flaxseed gel out of the fridge for only a very short time before it starts to spoil.

Over 90% of homemade flaxseed gels spoil within two weeks if not properly preserved and refrigerated. So, is flaxseed gel shelf stable? The answer is a definitive no for homemade versions due to their water content and lack of preservatives.
